We could do better. Let's say a small dev community wants to protect itself from ghosting. Whenever a new contributor comes and takes on responsibility, he needs to pay a deposit of a size that corresponds to the size of the task he is committed to and the degree the team depends on finishing the contribution. If the contributor ghosts the team, the deposit is split among current and past contributors.
I see this can be a barrier of entry in the beginning, but if all open-source developers make such a deposit and it becomes the norm, the ghosting problem will be successfully mitigated.
Implementation details intentionally left out.
